Mikel & Ogude Are Suspended For The Ivory Coast Match? by Asports: 2:38pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
More worries for Stephen Keshi,as it has been confirmed that the duo of John Obi Mikel and Fegor Ogude would miss Nigeria’s quarter-finals clash against Ivory Coast on Sunday. Both Mikel and Ogude, bagged two yellow cards each in the group stages of the 2013 African Nations Cup,which automatically translates to a one match ban. Mikel on his part did not know that he would miss the clash with Ivory Coast,even boasting of the Super Eagles chances after the 2-0 defeat of Ethiopia. “Playing against Ivory Coast is going to be both tough and exciting and some of our opponents are my friends, especially Didier Drogba,” Mikel was quoted to have said after the game on Tuesday. But upon realizing his fate come Sunday,Mikel told KickOffNigeria.com how sad he is,over his unavailability. “I found out last night and I am so so upset about it,” Mikel said. “I was really looking forward to helping the team get past this game” the 25-year old added. Despite his absence,Mikel believes that the players who would replace him, will do the required job to get Nigeria to semi-finals. “I’m very disappointed to miss the game. But I am confident that the lads can do the job without us. “We have a good team here and the new players are working very hard. I have tried to take some responsibility and speak to them, motivate them and give them advice. “I am sure they will do the country proud.” Players like Sunday Mba,Nosa Igiebor,Obiora Nwankwo Reuben Gabriel are all expected to fight for a place in starting eleven in the absence of both midfielders. http://allsports.com.ng/2013/01/31/confirmed-mikel-suspended-for-game-with-ivory-coast/ NB The latest news we heard this morning is that he could be available for that game. CAF is expected to clear the air later today. |

Irrelevant! Even if they were to play, it wouldn't stop Ivory Coast from winning. Only thing now is that it may decide how wide the goal margin will be. If it was meant to be 2-0, it would now be 4-0 14 Likes |

Re: Mikel & Ogude Are Suspended For The Ivory Coast Match? by Nobody: 9:58pm On Jan 31, 2013 |
Its a lie, Mikel cannot be suspended because he only incured one yellow card in the Ethiopia match. Following the rules, it is only when a player has two yellow cards that he automatically gets a suspension from the next match. This just a propagander to bring in confusion into the national team. 3 Likes |

Good, maybe now we would be forced to play a good passing game instead of those pointless long balls that always end up in the keepers arms |
